"This part of the shoot doesn't look very good." Natalie and Li Han were in the director's lounge, watching the little female monkey shoot the last scene.
"This little monkey has weird eyes, no emotion at all, and is at a loss. He lights up a cigarette and only holds it in his mouth without making any other movements." Natalie said, pointing to the little female monkey.
Not to mention the stage manager, the assistant director, and even Todd, the director can't stand it anymore. This is a monkey. It's very good to be able to act like this. It took nearly two days for this shot.
time.
It was still more than ten hours a day. It was simply torture. It was the most unforgettable scene in this movie. You know, in order to stabilize the little female monkey, Todd whispered to Mrs. Seidel and invited the little female monkey to come over.
Female monkeys are the real breeders.
For this reason, Mrs. Seidel was often brought up to speak out. Now Natalie dismissed everyone's work in a few words. Todd looked at Paris and George Martin's friends and couldn't bear to say anything.
But the cameraman and the stage manager couldn't help it. "Miss, you know how much we paid for this shot. God, it took a real thirty hours of non-stop filming, constant adjustments, and comfort, and finally we got it."
This is the current period."
"It took thirty hours to shoot like this." Natalie curled her lips in disdain.
"You put it like that, I really want to see what this little monkey can look like." The cameraman's face changed, and he was quite satisfied with the shooting.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him actually questioned and disdained, and even Todd didn't say anything at this time. Although the little monkey head acted pretty well just now, it was not this scene after all.
This is the only segment that is truly shot face to face, with a real monkey as the main actor. "Come here, Pandora, and let the little monkey tell them what a real actor monkey is." Natalie murmured. "This is because the little monkey grandson is not here, otherwise
Kill this little female monkey in seconds."
With a smile on his face, Li Han watched as everyone began to set up the venue. "You want to shoot the little monkey scene?"
"Really, fake, it's over, it's over, I can't get off work today."
"No, I still have something to do, so I'll protest."
"Yes, this kind of monkey scene will take at least ten hours to film. God, I have a date tonight."
"No, we need to talk to the director." Several crew members protested loudly when they learned about the monkey scene.
"What's going on? What's going on outside?" Todd frowned and said unhappily.
"Director, everyone has some opinions when they heard that the monkey scene was going to be filmed," the assistant director said in a low voice.
Todd snorted and ignored the man. The assistant director looked at Li Han and his group with displeasure. "Are you ready?"
"You can take pictures at any time." Natalie said on Dudu's behalf.
"Is it really okay?" the assistant director said with a little doubt.
The monkey show last time was so impressive that I was a little skeptical at this time.
"No problem, this scene takes less than two minutes and can be solved in half an hour." Natalie, who had just asked the villain, said with confidence.
"Half an hour?" The assistant director looked like a fool, full of contempt.
Natalie snorted, and Little Dudu, the baby, and Little Maria dressed up the little monkey, put on costumes, and dressed up. "Wow, the little monkey has turned into a little beggar."
"Hmm, little Hericium, be good, you will feel so wronged for a while, and you won't want to let go." Dudu said.
"Is this kid not very well-brained?" The staff member heard Dudu and Monkey talking to each other, muttering in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. Because of this child, the director has offended Mrs. Seidel." The staff member in charge of the props said in a low voice.
"Ah, that's right. After offending Mrs. Seidel, the director wants to find an animal actor. Isn't it a big deal?"
Mrs. Seidel is an animal agent, especially 80% of the famous animal actors in Hollywood are under Mrs. Seidel.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and get ready."
"Light up a cigarette."
This scene is the last scene of The Hangover 2. When everyone was about to leave, they planned to send the little monkey to a pet shelter. There was a scene between the fat man and the little monkey. The fat man was very reluctant to let go of the little monkey and put it in the nest.
The little monkey squeaked at the fat man. The fat man took out a cigarette and a lighter. The fat man lit the cigarette and handed it to the little monkey. The little monkey held the cigarette in his mouth and squeaked. He was very happy, but the fat man was somewhat reluctant to give it up.
Teach the little monkey, take a deep breath from the cigarette, turn around and leave. This scene, the monkey scene, the expression of the little monkey, last time, there was almost no expression, only squeaking, this is already amazing.
At this time, the little monkey entered the scene unexpectedly quickly. When the little monkey held the cigarette with his paw, he happily took a puff, and looked at the fat man with such smart eyes that the professional actor was stunned for a moment.
"God, how could this happen?"
"Kakakaka."
Fat Zach shook his head slightly. "Sorry, director."
"Is it okay Zach?"
"No problem, come again."
When this filming started, Zach felt that he was no longer facing a monkey, but a child. When he saw the person he liked leaving, the kind of reluctance and the kind of eye contact were a bit shocking to professional actors.
Ashamed.
During the shooting, a light puff of smoke was the finishing touch. The car drove away and the last smoke ring blew out, freezing the whole scene. "God, is all this real?"
There were dozens of people at the scene, and all of them were stunned. Todd had to say that although the little female monkey was already known as the smartest monkey actor in Hollywood, compared with the little monkey head at this time, it was like the sky, the earth, and the other.
Gold, a clay.
This was a completely different level of performance. For the first time, Todd felt that it was time to add some scenes to the little monkey. You must know that the previous filming of the monkey scenes alone was a great challenge for the entire crew.
"How about half an hour." Natalie looked at everyone with a proud look on her face.
The assistant director and several staff members lowered their heads slightly. Yes, it really only took half an hour. This can be said to be the smoothest shooting recently. The outdoor shooting was completed, and the scene will be shot at a small fixed location in the later stage.
The monkey show was the most difficult, but at this time, it became the easiest thing. Everything changed so quickly that almost all the staff, including director Todd, did not react.
It all happened so fast. I couldn't believe it. What previously took thirty hours to do now only took half an hour, and it was done better.
"This is really an exciting and thrilling scene." Todd cheered repeatedly.
"It's great, it's great. He is a born actor. That look in his eyes, maybe, just by looking at his eyes, I would think he is a seasoned actor. Yes, it is simply great."
"The director made a wise decision. Although that monkey is already very good, when compared with the one in front of you, anyone who is not a fool can see that this is the difference between a professional and an amateur."
Many staff members were in a good mood and praised the little monkey head without hesitation. On the one hand, the little monkey head performed well, and on the other hand, he finally didn't have to work overtime.
On the other side, Seidel is waiting for Todd to call. "This bastard will regret his decision. I want to see it. In California, the best animal actors are all here with me, Mrs. Seidel. Todd, you
You will regret it.”
What made Mrs. Seidel confused was that after waiting for nearly half a day, she still didn't receive a call from Todd. "What's going on?"
Mrs. Seidel quickly got the news through her own channels. "Half an hour, this is impossible."
"Mrs. Seidel, I saw this with my own eyes."
"Damn it, where did these guys come from?" Mrs. Seidel shouted angrily. "They came to steal my business."
Mrs. Seidel's expression changed and she made a few calls. Li Han was talking to Todd about remuneration and filming some things when Todd's phone rang.
"What, damn it, she dared to do this." Todd roared.
Waiting for Todd to hang up the phone, he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for causing trouble for you."
"What happened?" Li Han asked, confused.
Todd said, "Mrs. Seidel, I have issued a message to ban you."
"Block us?" Li Han smiled. "I'm not an actor."
"Mrs. Seidel said that anyone who uses your animal actors is provoking Seidel Studio and will be permanently banned from using the resources of Seidel's work," Todd said.
"Although this is Mrs. Seidel and she is not speaking publicly, the whole of Hollywood knows it now." Todd said. "I'm really sorry because I have caused trouble to you."
"It doesn't matter." Li Han smiled. "Can she ban all directors from using us animal actors?"
"Of course not, Mrs. Seidel wouldn't dare to do some big-name directors," Todd said.
"Grandpa George is the director." Dudu said.
"Grandpa George?" Todd was a little confused, it was that George.
"Haha, that's good, Todd, it's not early, let's go back first and send the little monkey head over tomorrow." Li Han said with a smile.
Todd was still thinking about it. George, seeing that Li Han was unwilling to say anything, didn't mention it again and sent Li Han and his group out of the set.
"I really didn't expect that Han, little Hericium could be paid tens of thousands for such a small role. No wonder everyone likes to be an actor, it's so lucrative." Natalie murmured.
"Actor, not everyone can do this business. If you don't have any scheming, ability or luck, if you want to be famous, it can be said that it is almost zero." Li Han said. "In any industry, there will always be some top performers.
"
"Han, do you think you belong to the top group in terms of farm tourism and cattle breeding?" Natalie said with a smile.
"hehe."
Back at the hotel, Li Han found that everyone was there. "What's wrong?"
"Han, you know, Mrs. Seidel issued a blocking order to block us." Nora said.
"Korra can't act like this anymore."
"Who told you?"
"It's spreading all over Hollywood."
"Don't worry, Director Rob Reiner is not an ordinary director. The director will not consider Seidel Studio's issues. What he should really consider is whether Cora can meet the requirements of Director Rob Reiner," Li Han said.
"Really?" Nora, after all, is an ordinary person. She was suddenly stimulated by the words spread outside. Her heart was full of nervousness and fear, and she was deeply afraid that she would miss such a good opportunity.
At this time, listening to Li Han's analysis, and thinking about Rob Reiner and Morgan Freeman, it seems that they are not afraid of an animal actor agency, and maybe these people will even try to curry favor with them.
With this thought, Nora finally felt relieved, but thinking about it, if Cora becomes famous in the future and shoots other director's movies, Nora is a little worried about this.
"This Mrs. Seidel is really despicable and cruel, Han, aren't you going to do something?" Natalie said.
